Default RE: DA 100 Issues

ORIGINAL: Ali

Cooling is not an issue ( Especially in the UK []) I did however make a baffle and increase the exit hole size in the cowling with no improvement.
I have just made a Ply box internal measurement is 3"x 2.5" I ran a tygon tube from the 2mm ( I/D) Brass tube that I soldered to the front plate of the carb. I made sure this was all clear. I have then ran Tygon tube from this brass tube through a tight hole in the firewall. This pokes into the middle of the ply box which is glued to the inside of the firewall. In this box I have drilled a 4mm hole in the face opposite that of the tygon tube. I am just about to put a small 2mm hole in another face of this box, then glue it onto the firewall over the tygon tube.

Sound about right ????
Also will I have to alter my mixture at all??

Thanks again for all your help guys.
Regards Al
Apart from the tube entering the balsa box (not ply), there should be no other holes!!!
The balsa wood breathes enough to allow pressure equalisation.
Altering the mixture will be needed if the reference pressure changes. Just tune the carb like you should, and you will be fine.
How?
